My stay at this charming B&B was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of the Japanese countryside, it offers an immersive experience that truly captures the essence of rural Japan.
The location itself is a paradise. Surrounded by nature, with fresh air, blooming flowers, towering trees, and the melodic chirping of birds, it feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquility is palpable, and the peaceful atmosphere is perfect for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway.
The room was a delightful blend of traditional Japanese style and modern comfort. The traditional Japanese room with a futon provided a unique and authentic experience, while the full range of modern amenities ensured that every need was met. What’s more, the price was incredibly affordable, making this a fantastic value for such a memorable stay.
The owner, a local plum farmer and factory owner, added a personal touch to the experience. Their delicious plum products were a delightful treat and a testament to the region’s agricultural heritage. It was wonderful to support a local business and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Overall, this B&B is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable experience. From the serene surroundings to the cozy accommodations and the warm hospitality, it’s a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Japan’s countryside.

The owner was really nice, it is the low season so when I arrived she offered me to stay in a single bedroom instead of the dormitory I’ve paid for. For 2 days I was literally alone, it was super quiet. You have everything you need if you want to prepare your meals. She even recommended me a very cute cafe you should visit right next to the hostel: ユータウン with a very cute indoor garden and amazing pancakes. Overall a great stay 😁
The location was convenient and quiet, you could hear the stream of water. It was vibrant and full of like-minded backpackers looking after themselves and facilities which stayed clean throughout the stay. The outdoor onsen of the hostel was delightful.
Amazing location! Lovely staff and lovely neighbourhood. I slept very well in this hostel and they safely kept my bags after/before checkout.
The cheapest accomodation around the main shrine Hongu Taisha and on the Kumamo Kodo trail. The owner of the hostel gives us recommendations on where to eat and also showed us useful spots for camping on the trail. I also got a breakfast package (yoghurt, toast, banana). The hostel has a nice large common area with a big kitchen, so you can make yourself tea or coffee, there are also some snacks available 🤩
Very nice small hostel. Excellent location, clean and comfortable. The rest guests were mainly young backpackers. There is onsen you can book and use privately.
Perfect location directly opposite the train station. Quiet, clean room perfect for a one night stay after finishing our Kumano Kodo hike at Nachi falls. Very good value for money. The hostel has an onsen bath but we didn't use it. We had dinner at the hostel owner's brother's tuna restaurant next door which was really delicious and cheap considering it was high-quality food.
It's a backpackers hostel, but a comfortable one. The onsen is great after a long day of travelling or hiking.
very cool hostel, welcoming staff just across the road from the station. We had 1 bunk room enclosed within dormitory with accessible toilet upstairs but also more downstairs, laundry facilities and great bar with local craft beer. I really liked Tanabe, small town heaps of dining options, worth a stroll down to the beach
Great location to stay in after the Kumano Kodo hike, as the hostel is right across the road from the train station.
